Resolution - Resolution is the ability to define small details. Not all surgical loupes are made the same. Companies use different glass, different coatings on that glass, and different procedures to arrive with the finished product. When evaluating resolution it is important to make sure that the image is crystal clear from edge to edge.

Field-of-View - This is the total size of the operating site when viewed through the loupes. By having a large field of view, many medical professionals are able to adjust to using loupes in a very short time.

Weight - This is one of the most important issues to consider. How much weight are you willing to wear? At SheerVision, we have addressed that concern by designing one of the lightest weight loupes in the world - the Ultra-Light series!

Magnification - One of the most important decisions when buying loupes is how much magnification you will need. At SheerVision we offer multiple levels of magnification, so we can help you determine the best choice for your practice.

Depth-of-Field - This is the range of focus that the loupes are able to deliver. The greater the depth-of-field, the easier it is to move around the patient.

Company - When choosing a loupe to purchase, look for a company that not only provides all of these requirements, but also has a professional staff that is able to work with you through your transition into using loupes. Also look to what type of service and warranty services that they can provide, and make sure that they have a trial period so you can insure that you have the best solution for your individual needs.
